Red Bay

About this dive site

This dive site, located in Xatt L'ahmar ('Red beach'), offers a fascinating underwater experience. The area is characterized by a shallow bay reaching depths of up to 12 meters before dropping dramatically to 20 meters, with the seabed sloping down further to 34-36 meters where a cave and a substantial overhang are found. Of particular interest to experienced divers is the wreck of the deliberately scuttled Malta-Gozo Ferryboat 'ix-Xlendi', now joined by two additional wrecks – the Cominoland and the Karwela – just beyond the bay. The area presents varied terrain, including steep slopes leading down to the deeper sections. The maximum depth explored is 30 meters. Shore access is easy, making it readily accessible.
